Im an electrician. I watched you do this little trick the first time almost a year ago. It is now on my list of standardized electrical finagling techniques. Every apprentice will have to learn this trick eventually throughout their career. Thank you for spreading a genius idea!
I love that the thumbnail is the solution. (Totally the opposite of "that one craaazy trick that will.." and a thumbnail that is of no use to the viewer.)
Reckless Roges or not even in the fucking video. Like sure use a nice high res pic for the thumbnail and use a vertical video in shitty quality only for the vid.
Thanks AvE..... Yes, I know this video is almost a year old. I've watched AvE's work for years. Somehow, I missed this one. I don't know how old he is, but it doesn't matter. This video is superb in that is an example of how you can solve a "problem" with a little thought. We are never at the the end of the road guys. I'm an old guy of 70+ years. I spent my entire career in heavy manufacturing industry. I was a maintenance tech. Back when I was just starting, if something broke, we never had the luxury of ordering a new part and then waiting for it to be delivered. We had to 'think"about how we could repair or make a new part. This video is an example of thinking outside the box. I would recommend this channel to any young guy or gal who is just starting out in the business of industrial equipment maintenance. This video is why I always wanted to work with seasoned older guys. They were a blast and always taught me something valuable.
I've actually found myself in this predicament a few times and the best way I could come up with of dealing with it was to make a wooden template similar to your metal one. But this trick is seriously ingenious. Simple and ingenious. Thanks for the headache remover.
Another trick I use with hole saws is to take the 1/4 inch bit out of the arbor and replace it with a 1/4 inch piece of solid roundstock. This will keep the bit from chewing up the pilot hole and walking around on you. It just requires drilling a pilot hole separate from the hole saw. Makes for a much cleaner end product.
I think this is the right way! That nice 1/4" rod is more stiff and a better bearing than an expensive special drill bit, anyway! I've managed to push a hole saw through several INCHES of aluminum plate this way, a long tedious process I'm sure you can imagine! But at least you have a chance! Hey, life is cheap in America.
I've cut the head and threads off of a long 1/4" grade 8 bolt for that before. I usually drill the pilot hole with the hole saw off the arbor even if I don't have a smooth guide. Too many times as the pilot comes through, it wants to suck the drill forward, firmly engage whichever hole saw teeth are closest and snap itself.
My uncle showed me this one 30 years ago. I'v looked like a hero many times since to my bosses using this to get out of jams. Thanks for video. many of the younger guys aren't privy to these old tricks as the old timers are dying off. One of my uncles Quotes " A Cross Thread is better than a Lock Nut".
I've been run off a few jobs over the years for doing stuff like this. Seems too many of the tenured old timers dont like seeing a some younger fella one up them day after day by doing 3x the work with 1/2 the effort, normally used to do 1 thing, by working smarter and more creatively over slower longer and more billably.
As an electrician this trick works, i have used it. however if you are not careful it will move the whole to close to the back edge and not allow you to get a locknut or bushing on. I use a piece of wood on the inside of the box for a pilot, so the back of the pipe entrance is not jammed up against the back of the box or cabinet. Just a tip.
Soooo friggin true. It's a shitstorm. Spend all that time wallowing out the hole and can't get a nut..... wait.....HA!! That wasn't intended but it's too damn funny to edit!!
I've done the scrap piece of wood also and a couple of small vice grips to hold it in place. Works slick. Yes , you are right about the hole location problem. I did that only once. After that I'd check the new needed hole location with the larger conduit fitting locknut just to be sure there was room left for it to be tightened up later and then put the hole where it needs to be for that purpose.
If it's a nylon gland, you can use your conduit cutters to circumcise your lock nut, it gives you a bit of room towards the back, it'll help keep it's self in place.
I’m an electrician just recently started using this method it’s great, before for j boxes a little trick I would use- say I needed a 1 inch hole in a 1900 box, I’ll put a 3/4 connector in the hole and then place the wholesaw over it and bam but this works great for everything like holes in the floor etc. 👍
The thing about keyboard heroes is that they never dirty their hands once, not even the tip. True virgins. You're a man of knowledge and culture, my kindest regards to you.
This was perfect timing! My "new" house has an ornate door we didn't want to part with but the knob was finicky in that it didn't work and prevented a swift exit in case of fire. I had planned on building some complicated platform for my drill press, or some form of template for my router. Instead, a quick trip to the big box store and I had what I need. 2 minutes later my hole was large and perfectly smooth. Thanks again!
Should you find yourself with only the bigger holesaw size available and the pilot drillbit, as well as access to both sides of the plate, you can add a piece of wood,plastic,whatever is handy, and keep it on the underside while drilling. this tip works well for thin sheets like here, not so much in thick wood.
Or if only access to one side, blow a hole through a 2x board, clamp or screw the board to the object, and set the holesaw inside the hole in the board to hold the saw in place. Also, always run it in reverse at the start, to break the the surface on laminated metals and woods as to leave a clean hole(for desks, furniture, and counter-tops).
@@Completedaudt true, but I deliberately did not mention it as I feel that it was covered by the alu plate in the vijeyo. 😀 Good tip on Rev to start. Must use the pins in reverse tho
Brilliant, been elecrician 30 years, hacked a lot but never thought of that. Thanks for sharing. There's another trick I don't know if you're aware of: When you chase through two sides of drywall, you can never quite seem to get two holes aligned with an extension bit (the shank is smaller than the hole) Just snip some teeth in the end of a short EMT conduit (nominal size of hole saw) Slide other end into the hole saw. Run a self tap lath screw into side of pipe through the cleanout slot in hole saw (to retain conduit) Boom! You got yourself a pass-through hole saw (of any depth)
You're doing it the hard way with the big to small hole saw arbors. Get a 1/4' bolt about 3 or 4" long, cut the head off. Take the pilot drill out of both arbors. Insert and tighten the headless 1/4" bolt in the small arbor where the drill bit was. Turn the small hole saw upside down and insert the bolt/arbor assembly in the large arbor and tighten the large arbor screw. This also works when your hole saws are different brands with different threads. I'm an old electrician with no eyebrows, last time they were burned off they didn't grow back. :)
Hi, please apologize me, but I could not find any other way to contact you about the following. Do you remember the video you made a couple of days after the crash of the Morandi bridge in Genova on August the 14? Your hypothesis was that the bridge has been collapsed because one of the stays was corroded. Well, listening to the news, yestersday they found, under the ruins, part of the stay and it was seriously corroded and they had sent it to Switzerland to be analyzed by a lab specialized in the analysis of metals to have the exact evidence. Have a nice day and congrats for the interesting videos.
"...to have the exact evidence." You can improve the clarity and effectiveness of your comment by replacing that phrase with, "...only to arrive at the same conclusion."
@Daniel Martinez, Isn't our friend simply saying the cabling evidence was sent to a metallurgical lab for proper forensic analysis - you can't just be waving a rusty cable about in court like a limp member - you require qualified expert technical testimony and properly standardized and calibrated analysis and strong links in both your bridge construction and chain of evidence.
That's pretty darn clever. I usually just use a large unibit, but that's not always the best solution. I've worked in the electrical trade for 10 years and have never seen this trick. I'll have to show my co-workers. Also, a Milwaukee hole saw kit I bought recently came with a 1/2 thread to 3/4 thread adapter to put a large hole saw on a small arbor. Comes in darn handy.
I first encountered this setup when I had to mount a flush decorative surface box in a hardwood floor. The box itself was 3-3/4 diameter and the (recessed) trim ring hole needed to be 4 inch diameter. Using the double hole saw made the stepped hole like a charm.
Great idea AvE! I have used wooden dowels as a guide. And I have used one turned around to reverse drill out a bath tap. No space, and the tap could not be un-screwed. Another useful trick when you have a ring nut that you cannot get a spanner at is put a socket on it. And then push the bar through the hole into the socket. No ring nut has ever been able to resist this method. Kind regards and greetings from Africa.
Straight and to the point. No needless banter. I really appreciate the tip.🤓 Absolutely LOVED the "SUBTLE" humor in your narration. 😂😜🤪 MASHED the freaking subscribe button.
Well I was at work and ran into this issue, but I remembered your va-jay-o and it saved my arse. Mine was a 1/2in to 3/4in that required some fandanglein due to the threaded shaft not being long enough to attach the other hole saw. BUT with some electrical tape and a friction fit I was good to go! Thanks for all the videos, myself and the guys at the plant really appreciate them, take care.
To stop over torque i wrap a piece of cotton string /twine sprayed with oil or wd40 at the top of the arbor thread and always come undone by hand no tools necessary
I've had a couple hole saws that were quite tight..... I spun cordless drill.in high at top speed and slammed on the brake ..... did that 2 times and the saw spun itself right off :)
I don't think doubling up on rubbers is that well thought out and probably has resulted in the over population of liberals in Canada. If the probably of a rubber failing is p, the the event space of doubled rubbers failing is [p(1-p) + (1-p)p + p*p] or p**2 + 2p(1-p). Assuming these are reliable rubbers with a low failure rate p is small and this results in doubling up rubbers doubling the failure rate to approximately 2p. And you lose that loveing feeling too!
This trick saved me a lot of aggravation this last weekend. Replaced a lockset that needed a larger hole. I might have tried to carve a plug with a center hole, this trick was easier, better, cooler. Thanks!
second time watching... given the commentary in the videos I've seen so far, I can only imagine how hilarious a regular conversation must turn out with this guys antics. Educational as well as entertaining!
This vid helped me a ton. I had a metal door which had an oddball (too small) hole drilled and when I went to replace the locks I realized how borked it was, and short of replacing the door I wasn't sure how the hell I was going to fix it. Sure sure, could have gotten a bunch of plywood and crap but I didn't have any on hand. Well in steps AVE and boom fixed. TY
BOLTR, thank you smuch for this. I'm a professional turd hurdler and I been in dilemma that this trick solves. Ordered a $7k stainless plumbing apparatus that came with 22mm holes, but my hardware requires 42mm holes. The manufacturer apologized and told me to just drill it bigger. I been wracking my brain how to do this. There's no Greenlee cobalt step drillbit big enough. I was going to clamp down a chunk of 2 by 4 and hope the clamps hold steady as she bores into. Thanks, you solved this for me
When you go to wire up that motor sitting on your bench, and you're cursing and cussing as you fiddle with your box of freshly embiggened holes because the motor won't chooch, remember all those metal shavings you sprayed into it during the making of this video. 👍

I HAVE BEEN USING THIS ONE FOR OVER 30 YEARS. STILL WORKS AND STILL GETS YOU OUT OF A TOUGH SPOT. I WORK IN A FACTORY MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT. I WENT A STEP FURTHER THOUGH AND STUCK THE HOLESAWS INTO A LATHE AND TURNED A BIT OF MATERIAL OFF THE BACKENDS OF THE HOLESAWS TO MAKE THEM BOTH SLIGHTLY THINNER ALLOWING THE CENTER ONE TO HAVE MORE THAN 1 OR 2 THREADS TO SCREW ONTO THE ARBOR WITH.
When I had to get something done like right now , I didn't have the time to go looking for specialty tools , order them and wait for them to show up. I used what we had and made it work.
Just came over here from Practical Engineering and I fucking love your humor. Plus the fact that you actually know what you're talking about. +1 subscriber man, keep it up!
God you are so lucky I wish I had half the tools you got most of my tools were stolen and I'm 65 and too old to start over again so depressing watching you destroy perfectly good tools but I thank you for educating us on how they go together and how they come apart and how to fix them.
I wasn't watching the first time through and was left bewildered. So I watched it and not only did I understand everything, I'm very appreciative of the comedic slang used.
I love it. It is so simple. How did I come think of this before. This could have save me so much grief in the past, I will definitely put this in the old brain box for future reference. Thanks.

I'm an electrician and have used this trick for years, but about 3 times out of 50, I took out both holesaws and my wrist, some days you wish you had an apprentice to blame it on!!
Coming back after having forgotten this channel, I realize I must have been on some cereal shit for a fortnight because I don't understand half of what is said, but it's friggin fantastic and a challenge to dig through colloquialisms, bastard vernacular, and whatever else is said that I miss due to reasons. Fantastic videos. Please make more
He's Canadian on a fine (cold) lazy, Sunday, afternoon. Goes without sayin' he's already half lit. I'm surprised he didn't get his ratty coat sleeve caught up in the drill at some point. let alone was coherent enough to talk and work at the same time.. BTW Greenlee sells a hole punch kit for doing the same thing in about 30 seconds
I feel so stupid now. This is my solution when changing deadbolt door locks of different diameter. I use a wood rasp. Bloody brilliant mate. Yep I'm an Aussie
My hole saw has a built-in pilot drill. Great for doing a little work on one side and then finishing on the reverse side.. By drilling a little on one side first and then reversing the work piece, you get a nice clean-edged hole on both sides.
Man! I just had this problem yesterday!! Genius solution I should of tired that! I was able to get the larger saw to bite even with no center.. but this is gold
That's a much better idea than my own. I needed to enbiggen a hole in sheet metal and eventually after some moonshine and staring into my tool box for a while, i decided to wrap the pilot drill in elechickens tape and ram a socket down in there as my guide. Worked fine but the hole saw and socket combo stayed jammed together on the bench for a few years.

You're doing it the hard way with the big to small hole saw arbors. Get a 1/4' bolt about 3 or 4" long, cut the head off. Take the pilot drill out of both arbors. Insert and tighten the headless 1/4" bolt in the small arbor where the drill bit was. Turn the small hole saw upside down and insert the bolt/arbor assembly in the large arbor and tighten the large arbor screw. This also works when your hole saws are different brands with different threads. I'm an old electrician with no eyebrows, last time they were burned off they didn't grow back. :)
J B no clue what your going on about. Just drill the right size hole in the first place. How’s that sound!

That's pretty darn clever. I usually just use a large unibit, but that's not always the best solution.
I've worked in the electrical trade for 10 years and have never seen this trick. I'll have to show my co-workers.
Also, a Milwaukee hole saw kit I bought recently came with a 1/2 thread to 3/4 thread adapter to put a large hole saw on a small arbor. Comes in darn handy.
I was just going to comment that some sets like the Millwakee come with the adapter.
This looks even easier than using a large unibit
I first encountered this setup when I had to mount a flush decorative surface box in a hardwood floor. The box itself was 3-3/4 diameter and the (recessed) trim ring hole needed to be 4 inch diameter. Using the double hole saw made the stepped hole like a charm.
It also works if you have to enlarge a 1-3/4" lock hole in a door to 2-1/8". ;-)
So all we need is the part number for the Milwaukee bushing.
Yup. This hack has saved my skin in the past. Another technique I use is to just use my everlast plasma cutter. Cuts holes like nobody's business.

Canadian 'Club' - (Rye). Sutiable to northern latituders only. - oh, you don't know your botany? Easy does it...
He probably indulged in some Concentrate lol
Was holding my breath one of those hot chips didn't light off his 'coffee'.
And he's still more comprehensible than most people on youtube. lol
Halving the playback speed is glorious on this video 😂😂
Straight and to the point. No needless banter. I really appreciate the tip.🤓 Absolutely LOVED the "SUBTLE" humor in your narration. 😂😜🤪
MASHED the freaking subscribe button.
Smoking what you’re rolling 👍👍
Bullshitting with this guy in a bar must be a good time.
That is probably thr best damn trick I have seen in a lonnnggggg time and I am not new to tooling. Thank the gods for you.
Well I was at work and ran into this issue, but I remembered your va-jay-o and it saved my arse. Mine was a 1/2in to 3/4in that required some fandanglein due to the threaded shaft not being long enough to attach the other hole saw. BUT with some electrical tape and a friction fit I was good to go! Thanks for all the videos, myself and the guys at the plant really appreciate them, take care.
To stop over torque i wrap a piece of cotton string /twine sprayed with oil or wd40 at the top of the arbor thread and always come undone by hand no tools necessary
You're far too smart for the girls I go out with. (Copyright AvE)
I use a small piece of copper wire, they are always laying around the jobsite.
I've had a couple hole saws that were quite tight..... I spun cordless drill.in high at top speed and slammed on the brake ..... did that 2 times and the saw spun itself right off :)
You can also use a bit of electrical tape on the bottom of the hole saw. Comes off by hand easy.
@@DustinGould that also works for removing the stubborn cores just removed from wood, plasterboard etc.
I didn't even have to watch this video for it to make my life easier. I did anyway as a courtesy.
Thanks uncle bumblef**k!
And I thought doubling up on rubbers was clever!
I don't think doubling up on rubbers is that well thought out and probably has resulted in the over population of liberals in Canada. If the probably of a rubber failing is p, the the event space of doubled rubbers failing is [p(1-p) + (1-p)p + p*p] or p**2 + 2p(1-p). Assuming these are reliable rubbers with a low failure rate p is small and this results in doubling up rubbers doubling the failure rate to approximately 2p. And you lose that loveing feeling too!
But @rfcarlson1, you snug things right up, so it is a tradeoff.
Awesome video & there is nothing like aluminum shavings in your morning coffee.
Embiggen some holes is my favourite Sunday afternoon activity.
a cromulent way to spend the time
@@diggy_the_first
I'm not gonna lie, I had to look up the definition of "cromulent". I've never heard that word before. 🤣
This trick saved me a lot of aggravation this last weekend. Replaced a lockset that needed a larger hole. I might have tried to carve a plug with a center hole, this trick was easier, better, cooler. Thanks!
"Got my pecker punched". Oh, man. That beauty just got added to my repertoire.
Saaaaaammmmme here 😁
second time watching... given the commentary in the videos I've seen so far, I can only imagine how hilarious a regular conversation must turn out with this guys antics. Educational as well as entertaining!
Man, do I love when my Sundays fall on a Thursday.
Is it Sunday? Fuck it, Monday morning blue's have already set in.
This vid helped me a ton. I had a metal door which had an oddball (too small) hole drilled and when I went to replace the locks I realized how borked it was, and short of replacing the door I wasn't sure how the hell I was going to fix it. Sure sure, could have gotten a bunch of plywood and crap but I didn't have any on hand. Well in steps AVE and boom fixed. TY
I actually let out a big laugh at the jazz hands routine!!
BOLTR, thank you smuch for this. I'm a professional turd hurdler and I been in dilemma that this trick solves. Ordered a $7k stainless plumbing apparatus that came with 22mm holes, but my hardware requires 42mm holes. The manufacturer apologized and told me to just drill it bigger. I been wracking my brain how to do this. There's no Greenlee cobalt step drillbit big enough. I was going to clamp down a chunk of 2 by 4 and hope the clamps hold steady as she bores into. Thanks, you solved this for me
When you go to wire up that motor sitting on your bench, and you're cursing and cussing as you fiddle with your box of freshly embiggened holes because the motor won't chooch, remember all those metal shavings you sprayed into it during the making of this video. 👍
*non ferocious*
Why would the windings being non-ferrous matter? Metal shavings inside a motor can still abrade an short it out...
Is my assumption that "non ferocious" was a humourous way of saying "non-ferrous" wrong? Or is there something I'm missing completely....
I’m totally hooked now!!! I had my sweet tea coming out of my nose cuz I was not expecting the “send your hate mail to”••••
I haven’t laughed that hard like that in at least 5 years!!! I needed that. Thank you for your hilarious comedy along with ur helpful content💗💗
New Lifetime Subscriber!!!!!!
I like the coffee mug. It should say "I love sheet metal flakes in my coffee" lol Nice trick though.
Nice little trick. Never seen that before-- been an Electrician for around 20 years; never too old to learn a new trick.
Here in McOzland wees can purchastify an metricalised adaptifier that'll let the wee ones fitafy the bigger orifaced holly saw thingamy, my kit came with a wee to whopper and a whopper to wee adaptifier for either doovalacky to use any holeifier holder.
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS ONE FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
STILL WORKS AND STILL GETS YOU OUT OF A TOUGH SPOT.
I WORK IN A FACTORY MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT.
I WENT A STEP FURTHER THOUGH AND STUCK THE HOLESAWS INTO A LATHE AND TURNED A BIT OF MATERIAL OFF THE BACKENDS OF THE HOLESAWS TO MAKE THEM BOTH SLIGHTLY THINNER ALLOWING THE CENTER ONE TO HAVE MORE THAN 1 OR 2 THREADS TO SCREW ONTO THE ARBOR WITH.
When I had to get something done like right now , I didn't have the time to go looking for specialty tools , order them and wait for them to show up.
I used what we had and made it work.
And now I know how to replace my ceiling lights with larger ones.
Just came over here from Practical Engineering and I fucking love your humor. Plus the fact that you actually know what you're talking about. +1 subscriber man, keep it up!
This was the reason why I bought a Greenlee Slug buster set.
Pricey
God you are so lucky I wish I had half the tools you got most of my tools were stolen and I'm 65 and too old to start over again so depressing watching you destroy perfectly good tools but I thank you for educating us on how they go together and how they come apart and how to fix them.
Good idea. Thanks. Cheaper than giant step drills.
I wasn't watching the first time through and was left bewildered. So I watched it and not only did I understand everything, I'm very appreciative of the comedic slang used.
Always handy to keep cone cutters in your box
I love it. It is so simple. How did I come think of this before. This could have save me so much grief in the past, I will definitely put this in the old brain box for future reference. Thanks.
Just put a piece of wood behind the hole and that will hold the pilot bit for the larger
I'm in themiddleof a project and this video just got me out of a jam. Thank you for posting.
Plan C: A job for the Apprentice with a round file!
"It'll teach you... something, be done before we get back from lunch and that hole better be round, those boxes are valuable!"
how did I go through life to date without knowing this! the hours of grinding out holes shall never be replaced....
Starrett make an arbor for doing exactly this, has two sized threads and no pilot drill. I bought mine from amazon 🇬🇧
A19 oops arbor
I watch your videos because you're the only one who explains things in a language I can understand.
Frookin brilliant bodger, Bud! .... but yer reeeeealy gonna need to clear the chips outta that mug afore ya brew up another round in there..... or not. Whatever. It's your colon.
Supplemental iron. Good for the dingus.
Gosh that's genius. I've been fashioning bushes from cardboard which is already good enough to offer some stability, but this is genius.
that is definitely gonna save my bacon one day. (probably sooner rather than later)
I'm an electrician and have used this trick for years, but about 3 times out of 50, I took out both holesaws and my wrist, some days you wish you had an apprentice to blame it on!!
Coming back after having forgotten this channel, I realize I must have been on some cereal shit for a fortnight because I don't understand half of what is said, but it's friggin fantastic and a challenge to dig through colloquialisms, bastard vernacular, and whatever else is said that I miss due to reasons.
Fantastic videos. Please make more
He's Canadian on a fine (cold) lazy, Sunday, afternoon. Goes without sayin' he's already half lit. I'm surprised he didn't get his ratty coat sleeve caught up in the drill at some point. let alone was coherent enough to talk and work at the same time.. BTW Greenlee sells a hole punch kit for doing the same thing in about 30 seconds
I feel so stupid now. This is my solution when changing deadbolt door locks of different diameter. I use a wood rasp. Bloody brilliant mate. Yep I'm an Aussie
Good trick, now what's the tick for getting the stray bits of metal out of that nearby motor?
tiny ring magnets on thin stainless wire.
just tie the knots well or youll have more metal in your motor
I worked in electrical construction for 20 years and have never seen that, thanks!
perfect angle on the dangle
I only saw the picture for your video. BAM! Thanks for sharing. You saved me lots of time. Thanks again!
Great idea! But I'll pass on the metal shavings in my coffee.
PUSSY
My hole saw has a built-in pilot drill. Great for doing a little work on one side and then finishing on the reverse side..
By drilling a little on one side first and then reversing the work piece, you get a nice clean-edged hole on both sides.
Fred ya that’s called a rookie kit! A real kit isn’t one piece....and you can do that trick with regular holesaws too. Get yourself a real set up!
Or you can just clamp some kind of sacrificial material under said hole....works for me
I watch your videos at work and every time a supervisor comes in I say these are training videos.
I think it would be better to clamp or jam a 2x4 under the smal hole. It will keep the metal shavings out of the box.☺
And your coffee cup! (2:46) Well, maybe not....
a sheet of steel at an angle. I still say it would have been faster with the plasma cutter.
Thanks. I always use a bush or I run the hole saw backwards. Yes. That has worked to start the hole. Never thought of this. Thanks again.
talkin' bout, dang ol' em-biggenin' a hole, man, mmmhm lol. nice trick!
Man! I just had this problem yesterday!! Genius solution I should of tired that! I was able to get the larger saw to bite even with no center.. but this is gold
You're going to want to spit on it anyway as a courtesy.
That's a much better idea than my own. I needed to enbiggen a hole in sheet metal and eventually after some moonshine and staring into my tool box for a while, i decided to wrap the pilot drill in elechickens tape and ram a socket down in there as my guide. Worked fine but the hole saw and socket combo stayed jammed together on the bench for a few years.
Between the pink and stink, 😂 😂
Dude! You just made my chore so much easier. I tip my hat to you sir.
